    Are you into battling or just rapping? If its the former give the Don't Flop lads a shout.

    I don't know of one single place in the whole of Ireland that caters to rap/ hip hop / r'n'b. We are light years behind really.

    Seems to be lots of 'who you know' in the scene for gigs..
    maybe spending time at that dont flop to get to know heads?

    I'd say get to know other musicians who play gigs, and not necessarily other rappers. There's no real audience for Irish rap so you're better off chancing your arm and trying to get a support slot for an indie band or something. There are open mic nights around town, I wouldn't know where exactly myself but I'm sure if you ask on the general Music forum someone will point you in the right direction.

    Going to one of the DFI (not called Don't Flop anymore) gigs is a good way to meet other emcees. Most Irish rappers tend to be hanging about at these events. Also irishhiphop.com/forum is a good place to get a bit of feedback if you want to make some tunes.
